Moho Resources Limited Provides Initial Assessment of the Nickel Exploration Potential of the Black Swan South Nickel Prospect
Moho Resources Limited provided an initial assessment of the nickel exploration potential of the Black Swan South Nickel Prospect, 4 km south of the Silver Swan nickel mine and approximately 40 km NNE of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The Black Swan South Nickel Prospect is a zone of ultramafic rocks identified from historical drilling, south of the Silver Swan nickel mine. The prospect is associated with a prominent, elliptical shaped magnetic anomaly, approximately 800 m long and bound on its western side by an interpreted major, NW trending structure. A re-evaluation of the historic down hole electromagnetic survey (DHEM) from diamond drill hole (DDH) 08NBSD0060, by Moho's Geophysical Consultant, has identified a possible, weak off hole conductor from the end of the hole about 100 m to the south. The anomaly is very subtle and is within the noise level of the data and implies a distant source. If the conductor reflects possible massive nickel sulphide mineralisation, it may sit within an untested portion of the Black Swan South magnetic anomaly, or it might reflect graphite or a sliver of sulphide bound in the interpreted NW shear. Geophysical modelling of the data highlights an east-dipping conductor as providing the best fit for the DHEM anomaly. Based on the historical drilling, the basal ultramafic/mafic contact is interpreted to dip to the east. Subject to the outcome of the geochemical review of the historical drill hole data currently underway, Moho propose to undertake RC drilling to the south of DDH 08NBSD0060 to test along the trend of the interpreted contact. The area will be covered as part of a proposed in-loop surface EM survey and sits within in a gap in the historical drilling. Due to a shortage of EM crews, surveying may not occur until June. Moho is actively aiming to secure a rig prior to completion of the surface EM to drill the untested section of the magnetic anomaly and add important new geological information to this developing target. The drill holes will be cased so that they can be used to test for DHEM anomalies.

In October 2021, Moho entered into a binding Heads of Agreement with Yandal Resources Ltd. (Yandal) 1. Under the Agreement, which is still subject to due diligence conditions, in exchange for a 1.0% Net Smelter Royalty, Moho will acquire from Yandal the exclusive right to access, explore for, own, mine, recover, process and sell all nickel, copper, cobalt and Platinum Group Elements extracted from the and associated minerals on 15 granted mining tenements held by Yandal. The Company will also vend four mining tenements under option and a tenement application to Yandal while retaining the rights for nickel and NSR gold royalties.
